Enterprise Application Security: Protecting the core of Daily Operations and On-prem, Web Applications that run them
Apps. One word that defines our daily digital experiences on our smartphones. Without mobile apps, the intelligent hand-held device would be no more than a black box, seemingly worthless. Quite similarly, we seldom realize that enterprise applications used by thousands of employees from diversified departments form the core structures driving a firm’s digital transformation vision. Be it Supply Chain Management, HRM, ERP, Customer Relationship Management, or more, enterprise apps mostly adopted on SaaS or on-prem models directly impact an organization’s operational efficiency, ROI, and future relevance.
The application security market is projected to reach a market size of US$22.655 billion by 2026
Application breaches accounted for 25 percent of all breaches.
Only 32% of security decision-makers adopted Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) in their development process.
Needless to repeat hence, application security management is of foremost importance to firms today, regardless of sizes and industry verticals. Cloud4C, the world’s largest application-focused managed cloud services provider and a leading cybersecurity company, delivers end-to-end security solutions and services to fortify application codebases, source code files, development environments, runtime ecosystems, underlying backend infra, servers, VMs, networks, and more.
